Chapter 181

I staggered backward. The pain in my heart made it hard for me to breathe. I had thought of

countless possibilities in the last few days and guessed many people. I was even bent on thinking

that Grayson did i t.

Though who knew that the result turned out to be such a huge slap in the face?

This was all indeed a conspiracy against me. They were merely going with the flow and glad to see

it happen.

Not wanting to stay here any longer, I covered my chest and left the building that made me feel

suffocated.

What happened next was similar to what I thought.

The results of the inspection were out. After conducting an investigation into Grant Corporation,

they found no irregularities.

The death that happened outside of Mid-Nutri Technology was merely a coincidence. There was no

direct evidence to prove that it was related to the company. As for the accounts, I was the one doing

it i n secret and had to bear all the responsibility for it.

Therefore, I was expected to bear the penalties and

fines alone.

The company resumed business, and after bearing all the compensation, I was fired from the

company, never to be hired again.

Things had finally settled down after days of drama. Grant Corporation suffered huge losses

because of this incident. Their stock price slumped as well. Business was closed for a few days, but

thankfully, everything went back to normal again.

As I was willing to take responsibility for it, the company was able to salvage parts of its reputation.

Everything went back to normal after business resumed operations as usual.

I went from being in despair and sad to slowly calming down. However, I continued to have low

spirits and could barely cheer myself up.

I had been staying in Cecilia's house without returning to the villa. As I no longer needed to go back

to work, I had nothing to do at home and daydreamed all day. 1

My stomach grew very quickly, and a bump was already visible.

I no longer cared about what was happening in the outside world. I did not watch the news nor did I

care about the current situation. I also stopped asking about Theo.

Cecilia was anxious to see me like this. She had been making all sorts of different dishes for me

every day t o cheer me up.

After dinner, Cecilia said to me, "Wanda, our house in Rosella City is done. Should we go over and

stay for a few days? I need your help to check out the place. I don’t know much about renovation

works.”

"Okay." Although I did not feel like going out, I had to accompany Cecilia since she had asked.

I knew very well that she just wanted to use this as an excuse to bring me out. For the sake of my

child, I should go out to take a walk. I should not allow the sullenness in my heart to devour me

whole.

Rosella City was not very near to Salt City, but the high -speed train made things convenient. We

arrived in just three hours.

Cecilia’s house was in a high technology zone. The government was planning for a new education

park that would have public and private schools. There were many schools here, and all the area

was being improved. It was a good living environment.

Cecilia did not buy a villa according to the original plan but chose a luxurious townhouse community

where each building had only six floors. Moreover, the buildings were all set apart from each other

with impressive green spaces. Looking at the place as a whole, it seemed really worth it.

A house of more than 2,152 square feet was more than enough for the four of us to live in.

"What do you think? I’m not well-versed in these things. Do you think the decorations are okay?"

Cecilia asked in a soft voice when she saw me looking around the place.

I raised my thumb. "It’s perfect!"

"Really? Oh, thank God. I was afraid you wouldn’t like i t. We agreed that since you paid for more

than half of the house, this house will belong to the two of us. If you don't want to stay in Salt City

anymore, come and live with me. This will forever be your home."

"Thank you, Cecilia!" I reached out to hold her tight, unable to stop my tears from falling down.

She was always putting up with all my decisions. She also made arrangements and future plans for

me in advance.

She had always been against me marrying Theo in the past, but when I got married, she was

happier than anyone else. Worried that I would be bullied or that I would have no family to return to

after fighting with Theo, she bought a house in Salt City to keep me company.

She would always be in the same place, smiling and greeting me with open arms.

"Do you have to be so moved, silly girl? We've agreed t o be each other's family and to take care of

each other, no?" Cecilia patted my shoulder and consoled me softly.

"Mm, we'll take care of each other.” I smiled and nodded hard.

"Look at you, smiling and crying at the same time. Go and wash your face. We're going out to eat.

We can't starve ourselves." Cecilia joked while cupping my face.
